La navigation spatiale repose sur ce que ressent le corps en mouvement et sur les repères visuels de l’environnement. Une nouvelle étude identifie le moment où ces deux cartes mentales s’alignent. Ce recalibrage apparaît dans le cerveau sous forme d’oscillations thêta.

🚀 New paper! We just took a major step in understanding how architecture shapes cognition.

Our paper shows that something as simple as corners in rooms or corridors can shift canonical spatial attention cueing costs.

Key method? Mobile Brain/Body Imaging combined with VR!

🧵 New paper out🚨🧠! Information about motion is key to vision. Head motion signals from the vestibular system robustly modulate visual cortex activity. Despite this profound modulation, we still don’t know how these signals reach visual cortex - or even what aspects of head motion are transmitted.
🤯 👁️ Did you know the primary visual cortex tracks head movements even in complete darkness?

Guy Bouvier and colleagues managed to decode multiple head movement variables in V1 without light in the room, and discovered two distinct brain sources delivering these signals!

Really excited to share this Opinion piece we've been working on with fellow head-direction cell geeks @apeyrache.bsky.social @desdemonafricker.bsky.social and (bsky-less?) Andrea Burgalossi! While head-direction cells pop up in many cortical regions, we think that one of them is quite unique (1/8)

How the brain combines spatial information from external landmarks and self-motion cues during freely moving spatial navigation task?

A very inspiring collaboration with @mobilebrainimaging.bsky.social and @clementnaveilhan.bsky.social using #MobileEEG
🧠 New Mobile Brain/Body Imaging study on spatial navigation out!

This was a very inspiring and productive collaboration with @clementnaveilhan.bsky.social and @stephen-ramanoel.bsky.social.

Have you ever walked out of a tram station, started walking, and upon seeing your favorite French bakery suddenly realized you were going the wrong way, as if your entire spatial representation abruptly reoriented itself in the opposite direction?
We tested this ! (just had to replace the bakery...)
